As the Gundam is injected with near lethal levels of electricity, Sayla falls unconscious from the stress to her body. Charging forward, Hamon slashes open the Gundam's cockpit as she prepares to fire a killing shot at its pilot.

>Ramba: Hamon, enough! If we damage the cockpit, it will be beyond our immediate use. It in its current state, we can use this "Gundam" for ourselves...

Meanwhile, Kai abandons the Guncannon out of fear of being forcefully conscripted into Ryer's forces with the White Base being destroyed.

>Ryu: Kai, you coward! What do you expect will happen to you out here?!
>Kai: Better than following that armchair General! No way am I dying for someone like him!
>Ryu: You idiot, you'll die out-
>Hayato: Ryu, the Guntank has nowhere left to return to!
>Ryu: You aren't thinking of running away too, are you?!
>Hayato:...I'm sorry! If i'm killed here, Fraw will have nobody left to confide in!
>Ryu:...Damn it!

With the Guncannon and Guntank being abandoned, the survivors of Ral's crew quickly take control over the Mobile Suits, returning them to the cargo-container of the Gallop. Within the container, Ramba is left silent and baffled as he stares upon the pilot of the Gundam.

>Ramba:...Lady Artesia?
>Hamon: What? That couldn't...my god.

Leaning down next to Sayla, Hamon rubs her hand across her unconscious face.

>Hamon: She...looks so much like Lady Deikun. Why? Why is she with the Federation...?!

The pursuit of the Trojan Horse has finally drawn to a close, with Ramba Ral's unit claiming victory, even if it was ultimately at the hands of an unsung hero...
